Description

⚡ The best-selling comic book in history — as a blank canvas waiting for the sketch that makes it yours — the Unknown Comics exclusive blank variant for the X-Men #1 (1991) Jim Lee facsimile edition (2023), the landmark issue that sold 8.1 million copies in blank sketch cover format. X-Men #1 (October 1991, Chris Claremont/Jim Lee) is the best-selling single issue in the history of the American comic book — 8.1 million copies sold, a record that has never been approached, let alone broken. Jim Lee’s landmark connecting covers — the Gold Team and Blue Team panorama that together depicted all twelve members of the new X-Men roster in a wall-to-wall composition of extraordinary dynamism — created one of the most iconic visual moments in comics history. The five variant covers for X-Men #1, including the combined polybag edition, captured the collector energy of the early 1990s at its absolute peak and defined what a major X-Men event publication could look like. The blank cover format presents the facsimile content behind a pure white cover — the ideal canvas for original commissioned artwork. The X-Men roster from the 1991 issue — Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Gambit, Rogue, Psylocke, Bishop, Iceman, Archangel, Beast, Colossus — gives every artist who takes this canvas an extraordinary palette of subjects. ⚡ The Jim Lee 4-pack foil and individual cover configurations are also available for collectors who want the full 1991 X-Men #1 facsimile program.

This is the X-Men #1 Facsimile 1991 Jim Lee Exclusive Blank Variant — the Unknown Comics 2023 exclusive, blank cover format, the best-selling comic of all time.

Take your time — you've got a full six months. If a piece isn't right for you, send it back the way it reached you and we're good.

In the first 30 days your money goes straight back the way you paid. After that it's store credit, so you can put it toward something you'd rather have.

Return shipping we sort out between us, case by case. I don't make this difficult.

If something arrives damaged, or it isn't what I said it was, send me a photo within 48 hours and I'll make it right.

Email [email protected] or call 802-356-9872 — that's me answering, not a call center.

The only things I can't take back are custom or special-order pieces and gift cards.
